Cas-ual Fridays Stamp products used:

Be

Full on Floral

Hope Fri-die 

 

 

 

1.  To start the card I embossed in gold the Full on Floral stamp. 

2.  I then took a blending tool and covered the entire background.

3.  From the Be stamp set, I took the butterflies and embossed those gold.  I lightly blended some ink on those as well. 

4.  For the hope die, I heat embossed a patch of gold and then die cut from that heat embossed area. 

5.  I took a piece of ribbon and decided diagonal placement for the hope and butterflies. 

6.  After placing the hope I took the butterflies and lightly with a pen rounded the wings to make them lift off the card.

My card this month is super simple, but super meaningful.   You see, a former co-worker of mine was a 2 time breast cancer survivor.. first round dating back 20 years.  This past Christmas she got some devastating news.  She had fallen and found out through that fall she had cancer in her body... again.   This card is more than just a card.. it's a card to remind her that she is loved and so many are praying for her.   So no matter what is going on in your life.. just remember to Be Brave.  ~With Love From Your Sistah

My card uses the new stamp set from last months release called Powerful Words. I simply lined up the 3 stamps on my MISTI and stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx.  I then heat embossed clear to give it a shine.

I tied a bow below and that is my card!  It is a simple but powerful card for anyone going through a battle.

I used Dream Then Do stamp set for my card.

Monthly Self Check every 17th of the Month!



Hello!  Thank you so much for stopping by

 

Today I want to share a very special card for a blog hop I am participating in.  I do not know of one single person who has not been touched by cancer in some way... Cas-ual Fridays has started a monthly blog hop to remind women to do a monthly self breast exam.  You can read the story on how it began here.  I encourage you to take a few moments to read up on how to do a self exam if you do not know how.  It takes moments to do your self exam and could save your life.  Please remind all of the women in your life to do so.

You should have arrived from Casual Fridays Stamps

This month the theme was to have this be a reminder to our friends and family.. Each month that is the purpose of the 17th posting, but the card itself was to be a reminder card.  Unfortunately, I did not have the reminder set so I chose to go with HOPE.. When I mailed my card out I wrote about the reminder inside.

 

 

 

 

CAS-UAL FRIDAY's  has their own line of stamps and dies mainly for Breast Cancer cards and it is called Calling All Sistahs and 50% of the profits from the sales of the Calling All Sistahs line goes to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. for research and medical help.  Check out the line here.  Anyone is welcome to participate in the Blog Hop that happens on the 17th of each month.

Products used:

 

Cas-ual Fridays Hope Ribbon

Cas-ual Fridays YOU (from a previous Stamp of Approval Box)

Craftin Desert Divas Fancy Frames

So Suzy Ink Bites

Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder

 

I first took the Hope Ribbon stamp set and the word HOPE.  On pink card stock I embossed with Brutus Monroe Alabaster powder in rows. I wanted the HOPE to be staggered .. I do have to say I am one of the worst straight line people in the world.. So I did take a ruler and make a cheater line so it would be straight.  After I had all of the hope stamped out and embossed.. I took two tiny hearts from a set called YOU (from a previously released Stamp of Approval set) and stamped in random places using So Suzy Ink Bites in Watermelon and Thistle Thicket.  I then used the largest die in the Craftin Desert Divas Fancy Frames set.

 

For my top layer, I took again the Fancy Frames die and I only wanted a tiny portion for a layer.  I then stamped and embossed hope is stronger than fear .. I added a few more hearts from the YOU stamp set.  I took out my twine (I am trying to use this more) and after wrapping a few times I saw it looked perfect in the grooves from the die.  It worked perfect.  I then added a few flat back pearls and with scor tape I adhered that to my main card .

 

I added some foam tape to the main panel and ran the watermelon ink bite from So Suzy around the outside edge.   My card turned out amazing and I can't wait for this to make someone smile who is going through this terrible disease..

There are 3 ways that you can help, and join in on the fundraising!

1. You can help by Shopping!
For every stamp set that you purchase during June 1st through the 14th SSD will donate $2 to the Komen Foundation. Stamping and shopping that you can feel good about ! 
Skipping Stones Design is celebrating "Blogs 4 Boobies" with the release of two new stamp sets!!! 

Here is your first look at the new "Let it Be" set, I think it's gorgeous!

 

 

2. You can help by Bidding!

Another way you can help us raise money for the Komen Foundation is to *bid on a project or card along the blog bounce(hop). YES! EVERY Single card/project along the blogs for boobies bounce is up for auction. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Your *Bid not only includes the card or project but shipping to your home as well. Please Note IF you want to bid, and live outside the U.S. we would request that you pay the difference of shipping charges between where you live and what it would cost to ship within the US. *See how to place a bid for more detailed instructions.

 

3. You can help by Telling Your Friends
Help us spread the word about "blogs 4 boobies" the more people that know, the more money we can raise!!!

 

How to place a bid on my card/project

Step #1

Find the comment section of the blog that shows the "Blogs 4 Boobies" card or project that you want to buy. *Please note you may only bid on the card/project shown in the specific "Blogs 4 Boobies" post. *Any bids not placed on the correct post will be considered invalid.

Step #2

Once you are in the "Blogs 4 Boobies" comment section fill in the dollar and cents amount of what you are willing to pay for the card/project. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Remember your bid includes shipping as well as the card/or project. 100% of the money your bid will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation

Step #3

Along with the $ amount you are bidding, be sure to include your email address so that we can contact you when you win!!

Step #4

Watch and wait.

Once you have entered your bid/comment sit back and wait. If someone out bids you then you may bid again. Bidding will continue until 8:00 p.m. Mountain time 7 days after the first post. 

* Please note that the participating stampers/bloggers will probably re-post their Blogs 4 Boobies card/project on the during the week of bidding in June. When the blogger re-post their project then the bidding will continue on the NEWEST post and that comment section.
 

"What do I do once I place a bid"

Watch and Wait
The "Winner of the Auction" Will be the highest bid (that includes an email address)in the comment section of the MOST RECENT blogs 4 boobies post at the end of the silent auction. Please note that ALL cards/projects WILL BE REPOSTED seven days after their initial post. The auction will end at 8:00 p.m. Mountain Time seven days after the first post, so again the bidding on my post will end on 06/09/16!!
Things to keep in mind:

Near the end of the bidding you may not see bids as they come in. Most blog have a comment feature where the blogger must approve comments before they are published. So bid high. You might have the highest bid that is published, but someone might have outbid you in an unpublished comment/bid.

The blogger/designer will declare who has won the silent auction. Skipping Stones Design will send you an invoice for your donation/bid ammount. Please pay that invoice as soon as possible, so the designer can get your card/project in the mail to you.
